Off the beaten path
In search of the main sights, we will stroll through picturesque quiet streets and peek into the lives of the royals in hidden inner courtyards. You will see the Jesuit Church and the Plague Column; find Mozart's house and the church where he lived; admire St. Stephen's Cathedral from different angles, the symbol of Vienna. Of course, the secret paths will also lead us to the Ringstrasse - the boulevard lined with the city's trademark buildings: the elegant City Hall, the Hofburg Palace, and the twin museums on Maria Theresa Square.
